And also know that essentially they are still acrylic nails and over time they will damage your nails in some way. If you’ve tried SNS nails and you love them, then keep using them, but just know that they aren’t natural or particularly any healthier for your nails than shellac or acrylic. No infills, you have to get each set removed then reapplied. Takes aaaaages to apply (twice as long as acrylic or shellac) Not as strong or durable as acrylic nails. You can usually rely on the product with the shortest list of ingredients being the cleanest or most natural- but not always. Look at ingredients and learn (or google) what each ingredient is. In the end it comes down to us, there is little regulating in the world of cosmetics advertising and we need to be switched on and wise. Which brings me to a question I often ask myself- where is the governing body who deals with this kind of misleading garbage? We are all getting smarter about what we put on our bodies, and brands know it. Products are claiming to be natural when in actual fact they aren’t.

This type of thing is happening a lot in the so called ‘clean’ beauty space. I know that a lot of women just trust in what they’re told by brands, advertising, and even our local nail salon, but this is yet another reminder that we all need to be savvy customers, and that just because a brand says something, does not mean its true. It blows my mind that a company can sell a product with completely bogus claims and there be no repercussions. They are not a natural option! Why the brand markets it as being natural is simple- it’s what they want us to believe, and what they think we want to hear. But I do want to make it clear that we have a serious situation of false advertising. I’m not saying SNS nails are any worse than gel, shellac or acrylic nails. Tocopheryl acetate(98%) (sounds mysterious! But seriously, what the hell is it?!) Here is a comparison between super glue and SNS glue. There is nothing natural about SNS nails! Bottom line is its super glue painted on which then gets dipped in acrylic powder. The powder used is in fact acrylic powder (polymer). Now I don’t know about you, but my nail lady uses cuticle oil on me whether I’m having gel or acrylic- this certainly isn’t something unique to SNS. The vitamin E (and a very small amount of calcium) are in the cuticle oil they rub on afterthey’ve done your nails and its 0.001%. There’s less than 0.001% Calcium which is clearly not enough to have even a remote effect on the nail. The main ‘glue’ ingredient, Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (85-100%) is the main ingredient of Super glue (>98%) ‘Healthier for your nails from added vitamins’

Now, this is exactly what SNS are claiming – I was intrigued by the fact that SNS nails were being marketed as the ” world’s healthiest gel polish” when it looked as though it was made of completely man made synthetics and chemicals. I started looking into it, and it wasn’t hard to see (just read the ingredients) that SNS nails are indeed not natural, they are just acrylic powder combined with what is basically super glue.

This struck me as odd, because I’ve had SNS nails in the past and I was pretty sure it was just acrylic powder which isn’t natural at all. Upon a recent trip to the nail salon I saw numerous posters advertising SNS as a natural, healthier option over Gel, Shellac and acrylic. If you’ve ever had SNS nails you’ve probably heard that they are the new, natural option for nail enhancements.
